Assessing the quality of services offered to gifted students in Al Ain schools from the perspective of teachers and students

The development of gifted students' abilities depends on the quality of services provided by the school. Therefore, special attention should be paid to this issue in the curricula and the work of teachers. This study seeks to identify the level of services offered to gifted students in grades 4-10 in Al Ain schools from the perspective of both teachers and students. The sample of the study consisted of (804) students, divided into two groups by grade level. The second part of the study sample consisted of (310) teachers from different disciplines. The results showed that there was a low level of awareness of what constituted gifted programs and curricula. In regard to teachers, the results showed that the level of services offered was complicated by difficulty in appropriately identifying assistance and needed training. To make situation different it’s possible to organize training courses for teachers in the field of detection and evaluation of gifted students; introduce enrichment programs for gifted students; encourage involvement of gifted students in local and international academic programs and in general pay more attention to the gifted children.

The nursing research center on HIV/AIDS health disparities

This report describes the partnership between the schools of nursing at the University of California San Francisco and the University of Puerto Rico to address the need for nursing research on HIV/AIDS health disparities. The partnership led to the creation of the Nursing Research Center on HIV/AIDS Health Disparities with funding from the National Institutes of Health/National Institute of Nursing Research. We provide background information on the disproportionate impact of the HIV/AIDS epidemic on racial and ethnic minorities, describe the major predictors of health disparities in persons at risk for or diagnosed with HIV/AIDS using the Outcomes Model for Health Care Research, and outline the major components of the Nursing Research Center. The center's goal is to improve health outcomes for people living with and affected by HIV/AIDS by enhancing the knowledge base for HIV/AIDS care.

Considering Specializations: An Alternative for Ranking Hospitality and Tourism Graduate Programs

The rapid growth of the hospitality and tourism education has intensified a competition among national and international academic programs. Stakeholders in this competitive environment often seek benchmark information for their decisions to participate in the education system. Program/school rankings serve this purpose. However, the most popular and cited sources on such rankings as reported by Business Week and US News & World Report have not recognized hospitality and tourism disciplines in their annual ranking reports. Although some measures have been developed by academic researchers to assess the hospitality and tourism schools/programs, the results have raised much controversy. This paper suggests a need for better ranking systems and attempts to make further contributions in the context of the hospitality and tourism education. The purposes of this study were to (1) review past efforts of school ranking, (2) recommend an alternative approach to rank hospitality and tourism graduate programs by specializations, and (3) explore and suggest meaningful categories of ranking criteria for more effective ranking studies in the future.
